Beth H. Harrison, PhD, has been in public relations, marketing, and consulting and involved in the health field for more than twenty years. She has spoken publicly and has also been on numerous national and international radio shows discussing GE food.
Why research and write about GE food?
Years ago I saw a package labeled “GMO-Free” but did not know what that really meant. I began reading about genetically engineered foods and was surprised and disturbed by my discovery:
The most fundamental characteristics of the foods we eat have been changed without our knowledge—and scientists have no idea what it will do to us. As far as the US regulatory agencies are concerned, if a biotech company says its products are safe, that is enough for approval.
The fact that GE foods have never been proven safe for human consumption and independent scientists have said GE foods carry serious health risks is concerning to me. I had been feeding GE foods to my kids and had not even known about it. Without labeling, most Americans have no idea they are eating GE foods—and I had been one of them!
These foods carry risk and aren’t labeled.
The GOOD News?
You don’t have to eat GE food again.
As a consumer, your dollars wield the most influence. Eating GE food contributes to multinational corporations that are interested in profits over your health.
You choose with your dollars--and you can make a difference.
This book explores why and how you have been kept in the dark about GE foods and the risks, why these foods continue to go unlabeled, and outlines what foods to avoid and how to take action.
